    Why is the finish line in a different place from the start line?

    Didn't know Vito Mannone was a Formula E presenter...

    The Place You Live

    Oh, I've just remembered it was in the park I mentioned where the Dreamspace inflatable thing came loose and killed people.

    The Place You Live

    I live in Chester-Le-Street, a town in the far north east of England (the place that anyone living below Carlisle thinks is wasteland). It is halfway between Sunderland and Newcastle and just outside of Durham. It is built on top of an old Roman fort called Concangis. C-L-S housed St. Cuthbert for over a century at the below church, before he was moved to Durham Cathedral. In total, there are 6 churches here. Chester-Le-Street was the heart of mining in the region, but now all the pits are closed so the front street is full of charity shops and cafes. There's a bit to do in the region. We have two swimming pools, a leisure centre and the remains of an old cinema that burnt down many moons before I was born. The market happens on Tuesday and Saturday, but isn't very big. There is a park built around the River Wear, opposite the Emirates Riverside Cricket Stadium, which held one round of the ashes last year. There is a gym on the same site. The castle is Lumley Castle, a hotel. The other building is a golf course, of which I know nothing about as I can't play. Apparently the Aussie cricket team met the ghost in the castle in 2005. The Lily of Lumley was apparently thrown down a well from the top floor and floats back up and haunts people there. It's typical English weather, but flooded badly in 2012. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojo7h66PEV0 And there is a really creepy old barn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKmerYD90es That just about sums it up!

    That might just have saved Depper's career. I wonder where Plato and Turkington are going to be.

    Lots of speculation going on as to why we had 3 on the bench. Robson was planned. Officially Altidore was missing because Gus wanted two defenders on the bench (Robson and Beadling). Unofficially he was dropped so that he isn't cup tied and can be sold more easily... Mannone was officially ill today so Stryjek (fifth choice as Pickford and Dixon are out on loan) had to take to the bench. However, a lot of people are saying he stormed out when he found out he wasn't playing, which would explain why it took so long to release the team...

    We have quite a strong team out, I feel for Mannone though. He was nailed on to start and now is ill. 3 under 21s on the bench is nice to see.

    It depends. If they can create a really powerful engine to start with, they can still improve reliability throughout the season. This does have me confused though. If Honda are one year behind in terms of homologation date, does that mean they are in the engine freeze as well?
